Ep654, It's A Canadian Take Over // Tight Spots + Long Waits

[@michaellake5269]

One thing I really like about older trucks are toggle switches that you can put extenders on. Rocker switches just don't cut it.

[@GeneralLee1870]

Kurt, you really had me with this video! You re my idol when it comes to calmness and beeing polite to other people! 😅 smile, nod and say have a nice say! I wish you, as always, a great and safe ride! See you soon! Thomas

[@michaelselman9885]

Hi Kurt & Opie. Another great vlog. Some drivers just don't need 2 b drivers. Nod, wave, have a nice day indeed. 😉👍

[@Hyrev1]

There's going to be those days..you handle it well Kurt! Great video!👍👍💪

[@DieselDoc78]

Smile, nod, and say have a nice day. You're a better man than I today. I couldn't/wouldn't have been as nice as you were.

[@michaellake5269]

I made many trips into Canada, and I loved it. People were super nice, including the guys at the scale where I was inspected once. They actually invited me in for coffee. I never had any qualms about crossing the border. Canadian Customs was a piece of cake. US Customs, not so much. But that's a whole different story unto itself. Stay safe. My best to you, your family and those crazy critters.

[@lindahollister5530]

Hello you two. That is really to bad when drivers have to wait that long anywhere😢😢. Great video❤❤.

[@johnmcclain7072]

You gotta love drivers that will watch you have a tough time backing in especially next to them without at least offering help or in this case telling you he's leaving. Been there. Anyway Happy Thanksgiving Canada. Truck it safe Kurt 😎

It’s a liability issue these days

Ya. Mister Truck Driver. I hope he got a good laugh.Watchung you back in.I drove for 35 years with extended hood.Pete.No respect now adays. Been retired 11 yrs. I dont think i could handle it nowadays.lol

Thanks for your videos Kurt; we love all of them!

[@midwestmike1253]

Getting close to my neighborhood. Kind of cool to see you in Wisconsin. It would really be cool to see you in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan with First Class.

[@dansbrown1313]

I think you're an awesome person and driver Kurt! I used to haul Sulfuric acid in pneumatic trailers down to places in Washington, Idaho and Portland. I think it had something to do with gun powder and I'm happy to report that I had no troubles with the people down there at all. Sadly in this world we all share, there are a few people like that "Most" driver, he's unhooked and his truck is running and he seems happy just to watch you struggle and drives away before you can get parked and go have a chat with him. So, an a-hole and a coward. Oh and good job there driver! Cheers from Canada.

[@Couldnt_let_J.Marston_die]

I was hoping you'd release a video today. Simply to state that in finally done with school my road test was this morning at 9am. I'm now a licensed class A driver. Thank you for the videos they have helped me get through the waiting. Much love to you and your entire family. 🙏

I've been to Mayville, Wisconsin. I worked for a company that was a dealer for scissor lifts made there by the Mayville Engineering Company. It was a fine company with an amazing product.

Canadians are one of the nicest people I have met, very polite. Poor star ⭐️ puppy needs grass. The crazy parking lot where you park where you want to, wow 😮 Could tell how livid you was at the semi driver being a horses butt, don’t blame you for being disturbed 😤😠 thank you for all that you do, proud that you are remembering the merch at the end 😁👍🦮⭐️🐿

That part of Old Fashion Foods is definitely hard to move around in. Mayville is on the east side of the Horicon Marsh which is a state and federally owned marsh. Awesome place to walk

I stood on the side of a cabover and barely backed it up to the door under a building in Atlanta great job and video stay safe God bless from GA

[@elijames3041]

As always be careful out there

[@EDLaw-wo5it]

I have sat out on an oil location for 24 hours. The big difference was, We got paid for all that time. The oil companies didn’t seem t mind and I loved it even if it was boring. Wasn’t burning fuel and no wear and tear on the rig. I would have been very frustrated with your situation. Your a better man than I. You and Opie havagudun and as always stay safe.

[@garyleibitzke4166]

Mayville, Wi. 😁 That's only about 10 miles from where my mom lived (Beaver Dam) before she passed. The Horicon Marsh is a real wonder.

[@kirktitgen7453]

You should have sprayed off shiny hiney doors and wheels and tires of trailer ….who was gonna stop ya 😆😆😆….actually the whole dang truck !!!

[@RandyCRR]

Some drivers like to be humps on purpose, even in big trucks. I drove a W900 day cab pulling an end dump. Had to open the door on occasion when backing in tight places. But it sure rode good with the long wheelbase.

[@tantejopie268]

With regards to your travels, I google earth where you are at. The maps etc, show me exactly the highways and byways you travel. I'm sure I'm not the only one to do this..lol. so, don't ever think us youtubers are lost!

[@jackson_68]

The last time I jackknifed that hard I messed up my trailer light connection and was doing some rewiring at a rest area. And a similar deal as you described wirh another truck at a dock. Tight area, I struggled to get in there next to him, etc. As soon as I was docked and locked he pulled out.

At least the weather was nice and you had descent scenery. Some of those places date back to a much smaller age of trucks. At least you know how to drive. There have been a few to end up in the river. Safe travels and God bless.
